While the research suggests that natural immunity could be just as good as vaccines at preventing serious illness from COVID-19 infection, the study's authors encourage people to still get vaccinated, to avoid any complications from any initial infections.
Independent COVID- 19 inquiry begins
Lead author Dr Stephen Lim stressed that vaccines are still the safest way to protect yourself, as"acquiring natural immunity must be weighed against the risks of severe illness and death associated with the initial infection". Co-author Dr Caroline Stein added:"Vaccines continue to be important for everyone in order to protect high-risk populations such as those who are over 60 years of age and those with comorbidities.
"This also includes populations that have not previously been infected and unvaccinated groups, as well as those who were infected or received their last vaccine dose more than six months ago. "Decision makers should take both natural immunity and vaccination status into consideration to obtain a full picture of an individual's immunity profile."
